Excursion Into Orchards.
Business Meetings Held.
THE DALLES. Or., July 1. Special.)
Despite the excessive heat there was
a large crowd at the cherry fair at the
Pavilion Tuesday night to hear the
speeches and concert. The welcome ad
dress was made by Attorney W. F.
."Wilson, of this city, and was respond
ed to by H. C. Atwell, president of the
Btate Board of Horticulture. Mr. -Wilson
gave a breezy speech of welcome,
in which he expressed the appreciation
of the people of The Dalles to the vis
itors in traveling such distances to see
the cherry display, but referred to the
display as worthy of going many miles
to see. He explained that, this being
the first cherry fair of The Dalles, the
display is bound to be inferior to those
of future years. In his response Mr.
Atwell declared the display to be a
good one, and congratulated the grow
ers and promoters on the showing
made, considering that this is the tirst
attempt in this line.
"Your display," said W. I. Newell,
during his speech on "Fruit Special
ists," "is much better than the second
attempt at a cherry fair made last year
by Salem. You have every reason to
feel proud of this magnificent display,
and I consider it the best evidence that
you are a progressive people and are
beginning, if you have not taken this
Up in the past, to understand that your
community is especially adapted to the
growing of fine cherries."
How San Jose Scale Was Banished.
H. M. Williamson then spoke on "Hor
ticultural Development in Oregon." He
related how not more than a score of
years ago fruitgrowers in Orgeon gave up
hope of ever being able to raise fruit
profitably because of the San Jose scale,
which had infetsed every orchard. He
then gave a history of the efforts of the
growers to get rid of tlv pest, and how
finally It is practically eradicated.
The second day of the fain still eaw the
crowds . increasnig. Owing to extreme
heat. Thursday's programme was doubled
up with Wednesday's, ihu. making it a
long one. At 9 o'clock the association
held a business meeting and it was de
cided to rush through the balance of the
entertainment and routine business on ac
count of the extremely hot weather,
which made everybody uncomfortable.
At 10 o'clock an excursion to the cherry
orchards was taken and every convey
ance that could be secured was placed at
the disposal of the visitors and those in
terested in the fair. The party was
taken through the orchards in the near
virinty of The Dalles and many were the
wondrous exclamations on the large out
put that the trees are yielding this year.
The trip was enjoyed by every one and
was most profitable.

Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon at II o'clock the or
ganization of the midsummer meeting of
the State Horticultural Society was per
fected and made permanent. Addresses
were made by Lloyd L. Reynolds on
"The Cherry in the Willamette Valley,"
and by E. H. Shepard on "Packing and
Marketing the Cherry." Both gentlemen
proved capable of placing these subjects
Intelligently before the people and did so
In a most thorough manner. An address
by J. R. Shepard. on "Willamette Valley
j Leaders," was listened to with great in
terest and the audience showed its up
proval by generous applause, Chris M.
Stackloud followed Mr. Shepard with
short talk on "Cherry Culture in Eastern
Oregon." which was splendidly rendered.
What made the Wasco County fruit
prpwers chests swell was the address of
G. E. Sanders, on "The Danes as
Cherry Producer in Present and Future."
Mr. Sanders spoke at length on the cherry
product of this county and placed it be
fore the eyes of the visitors In such a
way and with such good evidence that he
has made out Wasco County one of the
leading fruit producers in the state.
Old soldiers from Eastern Oregon began
assembling In La Grande today for the
annual reunion. Though only a few are
registered tonight, many will come in on
the evening and morning trains. The
programme tomorrow provides for
speeches of welcome by Mayor Hall, re
sponses and a general good time. About
5 G. A. R. men will attend the campfire
tomorrow night.

Bonds for Xew System Voted at Spe
cial Election.
CHEHALIS. Wash.. July 1. (Special.)
Voters of Chehalis. by an overwhelming
vote yesterday, authorized the City Coun
cil to issue 5175.(X0 special water fund
bonds with which to install a gravity
water system here. Three hundred and
fifty-four votes were cast for the water
bonds and but 43 against them.
It is proposed to pipe the water from
16 miles up the north fork of the Xcwau
kum River. The new system will give the
city 17 miles of water mains, the smallest
of which will run from 14 inches down
town to four inches on outside residence
streets. A complete circulating system is
provided.
It is the intention of the Council to
proceed with the work as rapidly as pos
sible. One of the first moves incidental
to this will probably bo to arrange to
purchase the plant of the present Cheha
lis Water Company. Much of the pres
ent system can be used in connection with
the new system and the mains tied on for
service.
TRIAL OF COOS BSY GOAL
TORPEDO-BOATS BEING LOADED
FOR A TEST.
Local People Have Great Hopes ol
Its Superseding: Australian
Fuel Now in Use.
MARSH KI ELD, Or., July 1. (Spe
cial.) Coos Bay people are much inter
ested in the visit of the torpedo-boat
flotilla, now at Marshfleld and North
Bend. For the first time In the history
of the place, a Government Naval boat
went up to the head of the bay and
took on Coos Bay coal. The boats here
are the destroyers Goldsborough and
Rowan, and the torpedo-boats Davis
and Fox. They will remain here for
several days to make repairs. Hun
dreds of people are visiting the boats
daily.
Coos Bay coal is to be given a trial.
and local people have hopes that
through it the Government will become
more interested In this locality. The
boats have been using Australian coal,
purchased at $10 a ton at Astoria. The
Coos Bay coal is being loaded at $4 a
ton, and the officers on the torpedo
boats declare that it appears to be a
better fuel than the Australian coal.
BOATS UPSETs UANDROWNS
HEAVY SQUALL OX BAR BAD
FOR FISHER FOLK.
One Rescued After Imprisonment ol
1 5 Minutes Under His
Overturned Craft.
ASTORIA. Or.. July 1. (Special.)
There was a strong swell running at the
mouth of the river today, with frequent
heavy squalls, and during one of them
about 10 o'clock this morning five fish
ing boats were capsized, but so far as
can be learned only one man was
drowned.. He was Matti Termes, a boat
puller employed by the Columbia River
Packers' Association.
Seven of the men from four boats were
rescued by the Cape Disappointment life
saving crew, while the two men from the
fifth boat were picked up by other fish
ermen. One of the boats in capsizing caught
a man underneath, and it was fully 15
minutes before the life crew could right
the craft and rescue the man. who was
nearly suffocated. Shortly after the ac
cident John Ekholm picked up Termes'
body in his net and brought it to As
toria this evening.
Late this afternoon two capsized fishing
boats were sighted drifting out over the
bar, but they are supposed to be two
of those which met disaster early in the
day.
CASTAWAYS ARE RESCUED
Crew of Felix Faure Picked Vp on
Antipodes Island.
VICTORIA, B. C, July 1. While send
ing a farewell message fastened in a quil!
to an albatross neck, one of a series of
daily messages recounting briefly the
story of the wreck on Antipodes Island,
49.40 South, 178.43 East, of the French
bark. President Felix Faure, 22 starving
French sailormen were rescued by the
British warship Pegasus and brought to
Sydney shortly before the sailing of the
Alarama, which arrived today.
The castaways, who lived a Crusoe life,
fushioning their utensils in the same re
sourceful way as the marooned Juan
Fernandez, scrambled ashore on Antipo
des Island, south of New Zealand, near
where the survivors of the British bark
Dundonald had been rescued months be
fore, after their vessel drove ashore dur
ing a fog in March last, and had almost
given up hope of rescue when the British
warship was sighted.
The men were ravenous when rescued,
having been on short rations for some
time. They had needles made of blades
of pocket knives, dinner knives from an
Iron hoop torn from a cask washed from
the wreck, hair combs from brush thorns,
fish-hooks from bent nails, spoons from
shells, etc.

The year 1908 has been an abnormal
one and it is feared that the deficiency in
showers for the past three months will
be followed by an early rainfall. To date
there has been a deficiency for the past
four months of more than two inches.

siderably from drouth. Barley, it is
believed, is past the danger point.
Reports are contradictory from Sher
man County. The Weather has been warm
and dry with wheat not yet past the
critical stage. If the hot, dry weather
continues and hot east winds set in, It
is estimated there, will not be over half
a crop, while it is said that if there
is rain within the next week and favor-
able growing weather, the yield in Sher
man County will slightly exceed . the
average crop.
Wheat in Gilliam County is said to
have been damaged to a great extent I
by the lack, of rain. Fall grain, it is
said, has been damaged 20 per cent,
while Spring grain has suffered dam
age amounting to 50 per cent of the
usual crop. Steady northwest winds are
drying the ground and a good rain is
badly needed.
The weather in Morrow County has
been unfavorable for grain during the
past Week. Spring wheat north of Hepp
ner is said to be practically ruined and
Fall grain in the vicinity of Heppner has
been damaged 50 per cent. Fall wheat
generally has been damaged about 23
per cent throughout the county, it is
estimated.
AH Sections Report Loss.
In the Powder River Valley the weath
er continues dry and cool. The present
indications are that crops generally
will be about 25 per cent less than last
year.
Clear and dry weather is reported in
the Grand Ronde Valley, with all crops
in need of rain.
A yield about 15 per cent less than that
of last year is predicted for the Walla
Walla country. (
In the Palouse country crops are said
to be in good condition, although rain
is needed for the Spring grain to fill out
well. Fall grain is maturing rapidly and
harvesting has already been started near
Connell. It is estimated that there will
be 90 per cent of an average crop.
Conditions in the north bank of the
Columbia River country, just opened up
by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, are
far from satisfactory, according to re
ports received at the headquarters of the
road in this city. In addition to dry
and unfavorable weather, sage rats have
helped damage the crops. In the Eastern
Klickitat country wheat is said to be
25 per cent and more short of last year.
In the new country, where the fields have
not been farmed before, sage rats are
causing coiif iderable damage.
UMATILLA CROP TO BE SHORT
Estimates as to Wheat Yield Are
Far Apart, Though.
PENDLETON, Or., July 1. (Special.)
That Umatilla County s wheat crop this
year will fall far short of the 6.000,00
bushels harvested in 1907 is generally ad
mitted, but the .estimates as to the
amount of the shortage are varied and
numerous. From the reports given by
the . growers in various parts of th
county it seems impossible to make any
intelligent or reliable estimate until tiie
harvest is actually started. One farmer
will say that his grain is as good as it
ever was and that he will harvest 40
bushels to the acre, while the man ad
joining him will contend his crop is
ruined by the drouth and that he will
be lucky if he gets 20 bushels to the
acre.
Another factor which has entered in
to the uncertainty of the yield has been
the freakishness of the few showers which
have visited this section of the state this
Spring. While some parts of the county
were fairly burning up. others were re
ceiving soaking showers at opportune
times. It is certain, however, that there
will be little or no wheat harvested in
what Is known s the Pilot Rock country.
The barley crop, though, will be nearly
as heavy as last year, owing to the fact
that this grain matures and ripens mucn
earlier than wheat. Practically all the
wheat has been cut for hay, but some
of it did not even make good hay.
The Cold Springs section, in the ex
treme northern part of the county and
known as the light soil region, which
alwavs before has suffered from the
drouth more than any other section, will
have fully s heavy a yield this year
as last and possibly heavier. This is due
to tha greater care exercised in con
serving the moisture and to the frequent
showers which visited that vicinity a
few weeks ago, but which did not touch
Pendleton or the country south of here.
Around Athene. Adams and Helix, the
very heart of the wheat belt, the crop is
variously estimated Dy conservaive oeai
ers at from 50 to SO per cent or from 25
to 40 bushels to the acre.
From present indications there will be
-no dearth of harvest hands this year
and the farmer will not experience the
usual difficulties in securing men to oper
ate the big machines. The streets of
Pendleton have been swarming with idle
men for several days and every arriv
ing freight train adds to the army al
ready here. Their arrival is far in ad
vance of the usual Inrush and it is be
lieved that harvest wages will be lower
than for a number of years.
Though hay harvest has been under way
for several days and the threshing of
barley is now being started, it wll be
fully 20 days before the harvesting of
wheat will be started in earnest.
IDAHO WHEAT CROP IS GOOD
In Clearwater Country Tonnage Will
Exceed Last Year.
LBWISTON, Idaho, July 1. (Special.)
Less damage has been done in the Clear
water country by hot winds than is re
ported elsewhere in the interior. Those
in touch with the crop situation say that
with the single exception of the small
area of lower levels adjacent to this city
the crop has not been touched by the
winds, and in this vicinitr it is only
slightly damaged. The Winter wheat is
so well advanced that it is out of dan
ger.
The Spring wheat, however, was sown
late and on the lower levels has no re
serve moisture to carry it through should
the hot and dry weather continue. This
condition applies only to a limited area.
The Camas and Nez Perce prairie sec
tions have had plenty of moisture and
the crop, though late, is in splendid con
dition. The increased acreage in the
Clearwater country is 10 per cent, and
from the present indications the tonnage
will equal if not exceed that of last year.
The season has been very favorable to
the Winter wheat, which is now ready
for the harvest in the Lewiston and the
Tammany sections. A dozen or more
combines will start cutting next Monday.
Haying has been m progress in this
same territory for the past two weeks,
and is about completed.

GREATER ACREAGE, LESS CROP
Whitman County Estimates SO Per
Cent Loss.
COLFAX. Wash., July 1. (Special.)
Conservative farmers of Whitman Coun
ty estimate that the wheat acreage is 5
per cent greater this year than last. Dry.
hot weather is doing serious damage to
Spring wheat in the extreme west part
of the county, however, and many fields
will not yield enough to pay for the har
vest. The total yield of Spring wheat
over the county, it is thought, will be a
30 per cent loss. Henry Hickman, of Al
mota. one of Whitman County's largest
wheatgrowers. stated today that , Fall
wheat never looked better and almost a
full yield was certain. He stated harvest
would be later than usual on account of
the late Spring, but the cutting of wheat
hay has begun and with the present hot
weather the harvest will soon be on.
HALF LAST YEAR'S CROP LOST
Drouth' Plays Havoc With Washtuc
na Wheat Field.
WASHTUCNA, Wash.. July 1. (Spe
cial.) Drought has wrought such havoc
that not more than 50 per cent of last
year's crop of 900.000 bushels will be har
vested. The present week has been es
pecially severe for the cereal, withering
much grain now in stiff dough.
Half the Spring wheat will not repay
the labor of cutting, though rains might
benefit many fields'. In sections south
farmers begin Monday the harvest of
Forty Fold, an early variety, which stood
the Winter well. Harvest will be in full
blast in two weeks. As time progresses
it is apparent almost no Washtucna grain
will grade No. .1. This is the first really
hot week of the season and grain is
shriveling.
FALLS SHORT OF LAST YEAR
Morrow County Reports Spring and
Fall Wheat Crop Under Mark.
HEPPNER, Or., July 1. (Special.)
Morrow County's wheat crop is going
to be far short of that of last year.
Spring grain will not make a crop or
any part of a crop in some localities.
Most of the Spring grain around Hepp
ner will be cut for hay. Fall-sown
grain in the northern part of the
county will, not make more than half a
crop and the same can be said of the
lower Eight Mile district, but in the
southern part of the county, from
Heppner south, and in all of the up
per Eight Mile, this class of wheat, at
the present time, never had a better
prospect to make a crop.
Haying is well along and nearly all
of the first crop' of alfalfa is in the
stack. Alfalfa is not turning out as
well this season as usual, the shrink
age being attributed to the cold, back
ward Spring. This has been the worst
season on grain known in Morrow
County for 12 or 15 years, but most of
the farmers are inclined to be optimis
tic and say that things will work out
all right by harvest time. Rain has
been needed for several weeks, but the
cold nights are aiding the crop. Some
of the farmers of the Hardman coun
try are still hauling their last year's
crop into market and will be string
ing along with it until Fall.
Last year Morrow County was third
in the state in the production of wheat,
but unless Indications change it will be
far down the line this year. G-eneral
harvest will begin about July 15.
GOOD CONDITION' IX GARFIELD
Spring Wheat Damaged 15 to SO
Per Cent, hut Winter Grain Fine.
POMEROY, Wash.. July 1. (Special.)
All Winter grain is in excellent condi
tion, and is 10 per cent better than last
year.t Winter barley on light soil is ripe.
Some now being harvested tests 48 pounds
to the bushel and averages 25 sacks to
the acre. Spring grain is damaged by
winds and heat 15 to 20 per cent. With
rain or cold weather during the next few
days there would scarcely be a shortage
as the extra yield of Winter grain would
make good the loss of Spring grain.
These estimates are made from reports
of grain dealers and farmers from every
neighborhood of Garfield County.

The quality of the grain is good and
harvest will begin August 1.

Average Yield Expected Although
Rain Would Help Greatly.
LA GRANDE. Or., July 1. (Special.)
A. soaking rain between now and the last
of the first week in July will, to all pres
ent appearances, make as bountiful a har
vest this year as the customary crop calls
for. This week has seen no urgent need
of rain, but the time is coming when
the Spring grains will need nourishment
in the way of water to produce average
crops. No alarm is felt, however, the
croD is not threatened with destruction.
Alfalfa harvest has been in full swing
for- more than a week and reports from
various parts of the valley are assuring
of average crops. Timothy is a little
light over last year, when extraordinary
crops were harvested. Wild hay has been
nrolific this year. Harvest of grains will
commence on the usual time, about the
middle of July, but small grains are the
principal means of support for but a few
